Ok, I do understand that approach.

Ups, that is not compatible to you user oriented approach! You blame something
and try to find "technical" reasons. As I wrote in my previous posts, there are
several resons for that behavior (but not the one you mentioned, that is simply
wrong), so either you just report "facts" because you are user oriented, or you
do a tecnical approach but then you should accept and try other arguments then
yours.
